A Dog's Journey (dogs, mother-daughter relationship)

Book Title: A Dog's Journey by W. Bruce Cameron

Topic: Dogs, human relationships

Thoughts:  I was crying before the third chapter ended.  Just like A Dog's Purpose, this book made me feel empathy for my own dog.  I was looking forward to reading the sequel to A Dog's Purpose, and I was not disappointed.  Great writing again!

At the end of Buddy's life, he thinks he has accomplished his goal and is ready to die in peace, but God has other plans for him. He ends up being reincarnated again to help "save" Ethan's grand daughter Clarity (CJ).   While A Dog's Purpose focuses on Buddy's purpose in life, A Dog's Journey focuses more on CJ's life and how her "dog" helps her survive.  Cameron effectively shows how pathetic CJ's mother is in the first chapter.  If I could have reached through the novel and slapped her I would have.  I keep reading hoping that CJ would end up at the farm Ethan loved so much, but Cameron makes this realistic that everything is not happily ever after, but I was satisfied with the ending.  

This is a journey you will want to take.
